I've wondered so much how a single movie from an announced series, could be faulted for story related issues. The story simply isn't over yet.
Apparently the story wasn't there to begin with.

As an aside, have "Likes" somehow become an accounting validation of any comment? That seems specious at best.
No more "specious" than using box office receipts as a measure of a film's quality or the audience's satisfaction with it.
Wrong. That’s part of actual market research.
:lol Please and you know what they say about that! :lol

Say that about Avatar. Movie sucked, was derivative, and there is no mainstay of it in popular culture ANYWHERE, yet, highest grossing film ever. Whats your take on that?Wrong. That’s part of actual market research.

Nerf's are much larger and have a notorious body odor. Hence, a Nerf Herder would most likely reek something horrible.
As I have been indirectly accused of constantly coming into this thread trolling and antagonising people here who want to have a discussion about it in the Premium Members thread and asking why I have not been banned for such behaviour, I will refrain from commenting here moving forward. I will however reserve the right to respond to a pending individuals review of The Last Jedi.
My contribution to this forum is spread over the entire forum and to put that at risk over a small minority of people in this thread is absolutely not worth it. It will be interesting to see how this situation is handled by those same people. Many thanks to all who have posted likes to my comments. It is worth noting that I have never had to resort to personal attacks or insults at any time.
While I came around to liking TFA more than disliking it, I definitely had issues with it. I went round and round with Bryan over the issues I had with it. In the end, while I still had my issues with the movie (and even TLJ), it still felt like Star Wars to me. Yes, I had strong issues with the creepy misogyny and borderline racism coming from some of our members - it still irks me that some folks can be so full of hate over something a simple as a movie (and I do recall a lot of the comments back in the TFA thread were about that and not necessarily about the movie). But, to each their own...Don't sweat it. This happened when the Force Awakens came out. If anyone had an opinion that didn't line up with the love fest, they called it trolling. It got to the point where critiques of the film ended up moving to its own thread where the distaste for the film was open for discussion. Funny part was the people from the love fest thread couldn't help going in to the new thread and reading why people hated the film, and they ended up posting and arguing their point in that thread. (see:Trolling). :lol

You can pre-order TLJ at Best Buy and Target. Rumored release of March 27th (TFA was released just over a week later, on April 5th - which means Disney is in full panic mode - hopefully, they will stay in business long enough to get this released :lol ).
